Description

The Lunch Break Coach is the podcast for leaders who are done with outdated leadership clichés—and ready for real talk. In each bite-sized episode, we unpack what it takes to lead well today: from managing high-performing teams and navigating tricky communication challenges, to embracing vulnerability and building psychological safety at work. Hosted by Dragan Donkov, a leadership and team coach with a no-BS approach, this show is made for managers, team leads, and growth-minded professionals who want practical, honest, and actionable insights—served up in under 30 minutes.
